Some excellent points from Smith and South there.
Also i recommend you go to Ventrilo or IRC if you want to meet people.
IRC instructions are [link=http://www.edgegamers.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?69429]here[/link].
Ventrilo information is found in the top right tab, appropriately named Ventrilo Information, and you can download it [link=http://www.ventrilo.com/download.php]here[/link].
